A Viscount Villiers is mentioned in Swedish sources as being part of a diplomatic mission along with Milford Lexington and the Earl of Pembroke. This is probably John Villiers (1677-1723), the self styled 'Viscount Purbeck'. The meeting took place in Rysvick.Svenske sandebud till utlandske hof och dessas sandebud till Sverige (unpublished manuscript in Riksarkiv, compiled c. 1841), p.86.
